Federal Workers Forum to Protest at Ibadan Court, Demand Withdrawal of Charges Against Coordinator Andrew Emelieze
The Federal Workers Forum has announced a nationwide solidarity protest scheduled for December 4, 2025, at the Federal High Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, calling for the immediate withdrawal of charges against its Coordinator, Comrade Andrew Emelieze. The group condemned what it described as a growing clampdown on free speech and activism in Nigeria. Emelieze, a prominent workers’ rights advocate, was previously detained and later rearrested in July 2025 for leading a peaceful protest. Supporters claim the prosecution is an attempt to silence lawful agitation. The Forum urged activists, labour groups, and human rights defenders to mobilize in solidarity and demanded that the Federal Government and DSS drop all charges while respecting constitutional freedoms.
